Talking Exposed Screens???

Quick question to the screen printers.

Once I have burned my screens and they have dried, can I store, use, and/or expose the screens in normal light conditions? Or do I have to screen print and store them in a dark room envirnorment?

THANK YOU

once they are exposed and washed out they can be put in light. a few minutes of direct sunlight will help keep a shorp image also if you plan on reusing it.

Thank you, I appreciate the answers. Been doing alot of heat transfers and figured on giving screen printing a whirl. So far, So good.

I usually throw mine back on the exposure unit for a few minutes (after drying).
